Grubhub Catches Heat From Restaurants Over $10 Customer Discount

Many restaurants are mad about Grubhub Inc.'s (NYSE: GRUB) latest promotion, a $10 discount offered on all takeout or delivery orders totaling $30 or more placed between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. After opting in to the promotion, restaurants must absorb the cost of this sizable discount, while still paying normal commissions to Grubhub on the orders.

Grubhub launched the promotion, called Supper for Support, on March 27 to help diners save while using its delivery services during the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. As part of the program's description, the delivery company says that the restaurants are "family" and remarks that the discount gives customers the opportunity of "supporting the restaurants you love."
